Holy cripes, the video project has finally gotten started!
« on: August 07, 2006, 07:52:57 PM »
I was just looking at the recent changes on the front page and saw the "Initial commit of work-in-progress MPEG video player plugin based on libmpeg2."

It's interesting that it's optimized for the Photo/Color and Nano instead of, well, the Video, but time will tell how good this will turn out to be.

Keep up the good work!  :)

Well, we don't know how to use the Broadcom chip still, so for now video will be faster on the Photo and Nano than the 5G.

Really, the Nano's going to be the fastest simply because it has the smallest screen to update.

Darn it, might be slower on the video ipod since it has the biggest screen out of all of em. Is that correct?

^ Quite possibly...

What's stopping the people from properly using the Broadcom chip?  Is it that they can't decipher it, or they don't know how to handle it?

No offense to anybody if that sounded insulting, but I was just curious what the barrier was.

So since we already have some problem with cpu power just playing audio might we have a much bigger problem trying to play video since it'll require much more cpu power than just audio?

The 5G iPod is currently the slowest one we've got for screen updates. Why do you think it's the one that suffers the most skipping during playback and such? Currently it has to spend more time than the others updating the screen.


As for what's stopping people: The chip is undocumented. There's very little we know how to make it do.

On the Nano I almost never get skipping while scrolling lists (which is a big one, since that one involves updating the screen) unless I do it for quite a while even.

Wow, amazing, but so far the rockbox development for the ipod 5th gen is getting much better. Especially with those new LCD Speed up patches they decrease the amout of skipping by a bit. Development is going great might be awhile until we get skipless playing but for now this is perfect. Does audio skip on any of the iriver devices?

Not on the H100 at least.
Heck, MP3 playback doesn't even boost. At all, under most circumstances.

I can't speak for the H300 as I don't have one, but it *shouldn't*.

I just saw this. Pretty fucking sweet if I may say so.

Totally unrelated but where's Rockboy headed?
